I noticed that I had a lot of battery usage from 'Cell Standy' so I put together this update that removes the phone apks that have to deal with the phone system, which doesn't exist on this device. I have only tested this on CM6.1b4 rom. It only deletes 4 apks. Afterwards you won't see cell standby in the battery usage. Use at own risk, and backup system first.
On a side note, I followed this thread as well to reduce redraw lag for the home screen, seems much faster now: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/bu...draw-launcherpro-adw-credit-samsonite801.html

Thanks for the shortcut... For those of us that 'may' already have removed some of the .apk's, could you list which ones you have removed in this?
i dont have this usage. tnt doesnt come with that because vs knew they didn't add cellular resources anyways. but i could be wrong. but i have no usage with that title. however 12% is used by (blank) no name

Right. CM is made for phones only so far, and Zpad versions do have a radio. So, that is what this would be useful for.
Thanks for putting this together, I'll have to check it out.
Rothnic.. Please let us know what you find out.... It would probably be just as easy to remove the apk's with root explorer, unless there's something else?

Yes it would be just as easy to remove with root explorer, I just wanted to experiment with creating an update for my own learning as well. The apk's are Phone, Mms, VioceDialer, and TelephonyProvider.
i'm curious, when i try to install google voice it won't let me becuase it tries to pull voicemail settings. if i were to slap that services on my TnT would it let me install ? lol

I have google voice installed, but can't configure it, hangs on the voicemail even thou I tell it to skip voicemail. I don't have that apk installed either, not sure if I removed it manually. I believe other people have been able to get it configured, but not working still.

I've used Titanium backup to backup GV from my EVO4G and then transferred the files to my CM6.1b4 gTablet and restored it there. Works perfectly...
Although... for some reason I cannot call out using GV
Works on Zpad, (only Phone an Telephony present). I added a link here for the the patch on the zpad page.

Works, but wouldn't use root explorer. You will get FC immediately after deleting the first one, and won't be able to delete the second.

You could use titanium backup to remove them, I don't believe you will get the FC with that.
@rothnic had the force crash loop here last night when removing phone.apk with Root Explorer. The good news is I force rebooted, removed the one other APK I could find from this list, and all seems well with my tablet. But I agree with you, better to use this update.zip than to try Root Explorer, or frankly to remove these APKs when the system is running by any method. It angers the Android gods.
I gave this a shot last night using rootexplorer, I had never any battery issues but what the heck everyone else is doing it. My gtab only had 2 files when I deleted them I got into the FC loop also. After getting the Gtab to reboot It seemed to load fine but after about 30 seconds I started getting a Googleframwork FC, my market and gtalk stopped working and ever time I cleared the message things seemed to be normal but only for a little while, the tablet also started running very poorly.
In the end I had been needing to clean up a few thing I had done with the tablet and it just seemed faster to wipe and start over so that's what I did.
All is well now and until I see some battery issue I think this is where I'll stay.

Which ROM are you running?
I will admit that I did not run any battery tests or longevity tests, so I don't know how much this improves battery at all, and the battery life is already great. I just know that it was using 30% of my battery, and I didn't like that since it is not a phone, and can't be a phone (at least not at the moment unless we get hacks or 3g modems working) .And I would rather use something like google voice/sykpe with this anyway.

Grey - I likewise deleted the 2 APKs that were present with my ZPad 2.0 install. I believe I may have had a FC in Google Services Framework the first time I rebooted right after I deleted those APKs too, if memory serves me correctly.
However, after a second reboot, everything was completely fine, and has been fine since.
I have now rebooted probably 4-5 times, and have been very actively using my G tab for the last 48 hours or so without the phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk files. In fact, I've gone through at least one full battery charge of usage as I was actively web browsing and using my tablet during downtime at work all day yesterday, watching video, etc.
If there were a persistent issue with Market or Google Services Framework, I am pretty sure I would have discovered it by now... I've downloaded and installed a bunch of apps via Market since.
My only caveat - I do not use Google Talk at all, which you mentioned using. Both Google Talk and Google Voice apps start fine though, no FCs there. My calendar and contacts are syncing fine. So there can't be any dependencies by the core stuff your G tablet needs on those two APKs.
My battery life is fantastic now. I believe it was good but slightly less fantastic in ZPad before deleting these APKs, but I never really measured it so I have no quantitative basis to compare.

running tnt lite 4.0 as of yesterday with market fix. all was working normally this morning. downloaded and installed quite a few apps and live wall papers. this afternoon most of the apps are missing and i can only get 1 live wallpaper. all the other stuff is missing. even the stuff i have already downloaded is missing. performed market fix over and over still same thing. the market seems to be working fine just most of it is gone. anybody got any ideas? am i looking at a complete rom reinstall?
It's happened to me a couple of times...
If you have Titanium Backup installed, just load it up and let it populate the app list...
After that, the Market seems to recognize everything that is installed right away...
It does eventually seem to come back on it's own -- but TB is the only way I've found of "forcing" it to happen sooner...
nope that didn't help. still missing most of the apps. the weird thing is that they were all there this morning and i haven't done anything that would have borked the market.
something else too. the market makes me "accept the terms" the 1st time i load it after a reboot. rebooted 3 time in a row and its the same every time.
Have you tried doing the Market fix again? I've had to do it several times. Even after it's done there are a few apps hat never show up, but most do.
You're talking about apps you've already downloaded from the market so I would definitely try the market fix again and see if that works.

That usually happens when you "Clear Data" on the Market app -- but you say you haven't done that? If so, sounds like the flag isn't being set/stored when you click accept -- so perhaps permissions are borked?
Maybe try rebooting into recovery and doing a "Fix Permissions" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache", then go back into normal boot, accept the terms again and see what happens...
yep done that too. at least a dozen times. and i know i am doing it correctly because it worked the first time a week ago when i rooted and intalled tnt lite the first time and again on saturday when i installed tnt lite 4.0. the market fix worked both times with no issues. now almost all the apps are missing. there are no free live wall papers listed and only 1 pay live wall paper listed. that and only 1 app shows up in the featured list when i launch the market.
i am really trying to avoid a complete reinstall of tnt if i can help it but i guess if i have to then i have to.

yea done that as well. same thing. its very strange. i have been at this for hours yesterday combing through the forums looking for an answer with no luck. i found all of the suggestions mentioned above and tried them with no success.
Ahhh...TnT 4 introduced the problem. I just read in another thread that v4 includes the Data2Loop hack and lots of people are now reporting this very issue...
Will update with the link to the thread which includes remedies...
Update: Link to thread detailing issue -- may want to just jump to the end and work backwards
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004
hmm.... well there it is. thanks man. will revert back i guess. 4.0 sure was fast though.
This happened on my "stock" Zpad. I woke up one morning and it was like it was partially defaulted. I had to accept the terms again and some apps were like they were only newly installed (eg asking for default actions). It was like some database go corrupted overnight (by itself).
That was all about a week or two ago and I haven't had the same problem since.
I began to have market "re do" issues several days ago (On tnt 3.1.2) and have had to fix it several times a day. I think Google has something to do with it. I turned off all Google Sync to Gmail and since last night, market is sticking again.
I have been using it without any problems and suddenly all the apps are gone from the market download and for others the icon is not working anymore.
I use the website Market now. I notice more apps on the website than in the market application. If I download an app from the website it puts it in the "downloaded" part of the market app anyway, so all the updates happen normally. This works for me and I don't have to worry about re-doing the market fix.
Cheers, Mal.
OK, finally got a problem I couldn't fix with searching.... My Feeds & Updates widget has never been great about updating on its own but now it won't pull the pictures down for the contacts or their posts. I still have them if I go into contacts and then to activities. But liked being able to pull up pics and such without using the browser. I can still refresh F&U manually and it pulls the new posts. I have tried stopping the SNS pic service, clearing both facebook and F&U data, pulling the battery after shut down. Is there a file somewhere I can delete and let it rebuild it to get this back? It really isn't the end of the world but I hate it not working right. My wife's works fine. Hers is newer though. Any help would be great. Oh and mine is stock 2.2, voodoo lagfix, rooted, only removed the bloatware. F&U was working fine after all this had been done for several weeks. This place has been a huge help, everything I have done I've been able to do without having to ask any questions but this one has me stumped.
well it seems the problem took care of itself. it's working now like it should. for now anyway.
So I'm having a really strange issue. I got my Atrix 2 a few weeks ago after owning the OG since it launched. I'm currently running 2.3.6 Stock Deodexed installed via CWM restore in bootstrap. Everything is working fine, except this: the Voice Search app, which I use a lot, continually reverts itself to default settings. As long as the app is running, it behaves normally, but when I kill the process, reboot the phone, or too much time passes, it seems to wipe out its own data. As a result, nearly every time I use it, I get this first run dialog asking me if I want to enable personalized recognition and a tutorial overlay. I've selected both options multiple times and the issue persists. A few things:
1) I'm not sure if this has been happening since the beginning, because I've been rooted and deodexed in some form or fashion since the 2nd day I had it. I don't remember initially having a problem, though. Maybe someone running straight stock with no mods could test this?
2) I use local data encryption for both the SD Card and the app storage, as required by my corporate exchange server. That's the only thing I can think of that might be causing this.
3) I've reinstalled the app multiple times.
4) It seems like Voice Search can't be moved to the SD card.
Anyone else having this problem?

s a matter of fact, I have had it happen to me a couple of times too. I'm running lfabor's SC_V5 Update 2 though.
Now I shall reply to you statements / questions:
When I was running stock 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 I didn't have this issue.
I do not use encryption as its not required for my corporate sync (nor is my phone a company phone)
I have not tried to reinstall it, as I dont use very often, and only had to he issue happen a couple of times. This is also because lfabor placed it in the
system directory, and I've been to lazy to move it out.
The reason it can't be moved to SD is because the SD storage has to be enabled by the developer of the app.
Also note I am using swiftkey X for my keyboard, but if you are having issues with stock I don't think swiftkey is to blame.
I have not
I have had this issue TONS of times on a 100% stock not even rooted phone. I think there is just something screwed up, I dont think it's because of anything you did. My SD card is not encrypted, and I am also using Swiftkey X (but I doubt its swiftkey X). Infact I think it even used to happen before I started using swiftkey x.
I have the same issue, and I'm also using Swiftkey X. I'm sensing a pattern...
While I haven't empirically tested enough, I think the voice search might be resetting every time that Swiftkey gets updated (like with new language files, since that seems to happen quite often).
I'll try to keep track to see if there's a link there.

I'm not using SwiftKey, but I do use the ICS keyboard, so I tried uninstalling it and freezing Swype for good measure. It didn't seem to affect things, at least on my end.
I'm having the same problem. I installed the swiftkey x keyboard to give it a try but uninstalled it when I didn't like it. Have had the problems even since the uninstall. Currently using the stock keyboard with stock rom rooted.

Alright fellas. Help me out. Just recently switched from the S4 to the G3. Everything seems great. I rooted, reinstalled my apps via Titanium Backup. Recently I've noticed that app processes like FB, FB messenger, shazam will start automatically. I'll go and force close them, but a few minutes later they're back up. As you know the G3 has 3GB of RAM, and on avg when I boot up my phone I have 1.5GB already used!?! My battery drains quite frequently. I was at 100% this morning, had my phone in my car for 8hrs and noticed it was at 40%. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I'm contemplating on just reloading the stock ROM and installing everything from scratch.
I have Bootmanager installed, but apparently it doesnt work as advertised. Let me know if you need anything from me. TIA!
Update
*Update* So I ended up flashing the stock rom. I then installed the apps individually. Seems to be running a whole lot better than before. Still can't figure out why some process seem to start without my interaction. I rarely ever use Youtube, however the process is always running...

If you are willing, I highly recommend trying a custom ROM. Lately the G3 has been gettingits share of ROM - even AOSP - goodness. Idk if it will actually help, but it might be worth a try. Just follow the directions and dont brick.
Hello all,
Having a problem with my unmodded XT926. Apps are crashing frequently during the day. Phone is usable but I get messages saying that Google Play has stopped working or Fleksy has stopped working. Keyboard app stops working multiple times a day. At first I was using the native keyboard app, but for the last three days I switched to Fleksy to see if that worked better but no dice. When the keyboard app crashes, I have to force reboot the phone. Do I need to reload firmware or something to get my phone stable again?
Phone has never been rooted (company phone). All I've ever done was disable some apps listed on the Xt926 Bloatware post on this forum and played around with Nova Launcher and Tasker.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it has not resolved my problem.
You can always try to enable certain things that you have previously disabled to see if that helps. I'm not sure what you have disabled but what works for some, may not work for you.
Since your rooted, you can also use Titanium Backup to freeze apps.
Are you familiar with RSD Lite?

The app crashes were happening prior to me disabling programs. I have tried enabling everything again and the results are the same. Most of what I disabled are the bloatware apps (Amazon, MC3, Real Racing, Spotify, etc.)
I am not rooted.
Have never used RSD Lite but will look into it.
You can try going into the "Apps" menu in settings and clearing the caches for individual apps. Some of them get quite large, and the cache only stores temporary data for reasons of convenience.
You can uninstall apps you don't really need (some of them run in the background and use up memory, look in "Running" apps in the system-apps listing).
Tasker is always running in the background; do you really need it?
You can try going into developer options (go into "About phone" in settings, then tap the build number many times) and reducing the background process limit.
If all else fails, you can do a factory data reset, or even more drastic, you can reflash the stock firmware.
Also bear in mind that this is an old device, and current apps expect devices with more memory and faster processors. Every time an app is updated with more features, it uses more memory on your phone and makes it run slower.

Backup important data (pics, music etc.) and try a factory reset. This should cure all you problems.
If this process cures your phones problems, you can root your phone if you like. Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-hd/general/index-motorola-droid-razr-hd-2015-t3167557
Factory reset was done prior to my post on this board.
Don't think tasker is the problem. After the reset, I manually added apps one or two at a time... Tasker was the last one added, but crashes were happening before that.
Previously, I had been using tasker for about 6 months with no crashes at all.
Right now, I'm leaning toward flashing the firmware. My company has put a temporary ban on issuing droid phones due to that big exploit that was discovered a few weeks ago. I hate iPhones and am trying to keep this one running until they lift the ban.
Thanks for all the help so far. I'm open to trying anything to just get this phone back to a stable condition.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk
so here is the latest.
Phone rebooted itself, after an app crash and is now stuck on the Droid Eye bootup screen thingy...
Force reboot doesn't fix it. Took it to Verizon store downstairs for sh*ts and giggles and they were no help. No surprise there!
Does this sound like a hardware issues to you guys?
Guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get an iPhone from my company as a replacement.. unless someone on here has some miracle suggestion.
It sounds more like a software issue to me.
I would see if you can get into fastboot or ADB and flash a fresh copy of the firmware before giving up entirely.
A full flashing of the firmware via RSD Lite will probably fix your issues
So I was able to Flash firmware to 183.46.15 and I also rooted the phone using sd_shadow instructions. Took me quite a while to actually download a working firmware file. The only working link I found was here: http://download1520.mediafire.com/rnbmstjwc1wg/du1p88ti1esd5fk/VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_1FF.xml.zip
I guess I'll see if the phone is any more stable over the next few days.
Thank you all for the suggestions. Much appreciated!
Was this ever resolved?
